Ne-Yo Gets Playboy Bunny Treatment At Super Bowl Pre-Game Party

Ne-Yo's regular background dancers had the night off Saturday when the R&B singer and songwriter played a midnight show at the Playboy Presents Carnival Mystique Super Bowl pre-game party.

But he apparently didn't mind. The Bud Light Hotel venue go-go dancers sufficed. Plus, Playboy Bunnies joined him on stage between songs to kiss him and wipe off his sweat.

"I think I'm going to have to call [Hugh Hefner] and see if a couple can come with me," he joked. "My life sucks."

Ne-Yo sang live to track and danced during his 40-minute set that focused on his mid-tempo and dance records, "Beautiful Monster," "Sexy Love," "Closer," and "Tonight."

He even dedicated a song to the bunnies. Before performing "Miss Independent," he described it as a record he had unknowingly written about the ladies, women who can do it for themselves, "and don't need anybody's help."

Surprisingly, he gave a fan the mic and let her sing a few lyrics of "Tonight." Afterwards, he teased her, frowning in response her off-key crooning.

Before closing, he told the Super Bowl crowd that he was a fan of contenders, the New York Giants. They cheered, and booed when he acknowledged the New England Patriot fans in the house.
